Hi guys,

This is one of my most favorite chords, I learned it years ago by coincidence, it is cool when play pads using two hands, anyhow, I wanted to know what it's name?! :roll:
Notes are: C, E, F#, G, B

It's a C maj7 #11, derived from the C Lydian scale [C D E F# G A B].
You're bad... with my help, you could be the worst.

Thanks for the tip of hinting the Lydian scale, I tried searching in many chord dictionary but couldn't find it.

I'm constantly playing chords that I have no idea what they are and this place usually names them (got your one anyway).... actually though, seems once I know what they are I always forget anyway so?

Art and theory can't occupy the same space at the same time. They destroy each other :wink:

Thanks !! I've been looking for something like that for some time, and could only find ones where you pick the chord name and hear how it sounds or where to put the fingers, but the reverse is what I want: input notes and it tells you the name.
Usually no problem for me for the simple chords, but the complex jazzy chords can do my head in.
Got the piano variation bookmarked now.

what like in timecop? i prefer the idea that theory has gone back in time to kill arts' mother before it is born, but in doing so forces the creation of art in the first place (and you get better sequels)

C E G B is also a nice chord

normally by theory one can add sharp and flat 9's, 11's and 13's to the dominant C E G Bb

much more often than to the major 7, but then that's by theory

what a nice chord! played it on my guitar just now and it reminded me of Sonic Youth!




I've known it for ages, just not 'by name' as it were.

Sure... a friend showed it to me a few weeks ago and I thought it was pretty cool. Glad some others can get some use out of it too. Special thanks to the guy (or girl) that put it together....

+1 to the thanks - and thanks to the site! I was going to write an app that did this for myself, but now I don't have to :D
